those requirements which by definite impu-
alton he conLcnted to when accepting the
Democratic nomination and subsequently
the Office Of President
This has not been Democratic admins
tratio. The Ohio platform would wish to
place it on record as one. That would he a
historical uutruth. There are too many Re-

Cleveland to allow Of such a statement being
conceded,
Surprising Mr.. Blain to have been Presi-

That is Not All About 1t.

Talking about the constitutional convcu-
tion to be held next November the Milford
Chronicle says:
"We have no axe to grind individually, as
political honors are not cravcd or sought af-
ter, but we believe that for the well being OF
our State, that every honest Democrat who
desires to see the State of Delaware prosper
ous, aud receiving additions to her popula-
tion and wealth .fom outside sources will
vote for the constitutional convention in
November. Every Republican worthy of
the name certainly will. Men like the life
tonured olliceholders; the mon who have
just lost control of the States affairs, aud
the purchasable part of both parties, will
most certainly oppose the convention and
work for its defeat at the polls, but to the
quiet voters will fall the woak of this spec
ial campaign that should be underst ood as
full of Importance to the future welfare OF
Delaware"
But that is not all about ii. Between the
two Democratic parties tho question docs
not lie for decision. The Republicans, have
it in their hands entirely as to whether
things shall lie set right in Delaware or shall
| continue as they are for another term.
And this should be clearly understood as
the salient point of the coming constitution
al campaign. The Democrats have divided
upon tile question. Many Of the 'ins' il not
al of them are aga INST constitutional reform.
The third party, the Republicans therefore
have the question, or its decision, in their
hands,
With the constitutional Democrats and
Republicans in honest alliance upon thi
simple question, the malcontentsior anti-re-
formers can be easily beaten.
If there be any genuine meaning in the
Republican cry for reform, const;tutial re.
form will be successful in November. II
there be enot'the only -4aGso ofltHc defeat y
this much needed legislation will be Republi
kcduess and insincerity.
This is not party question. And there
is no need of making it such. Victory j.
easily possible. If not achieved Delaware
will know upon whom to lay the blaTe.

Our Gallant Soldiers.

There is nothing in the city at this mo-
ment that stands at such high premium of
public esteem as our National Guard.
And this is just as it should be.
Our city companiC A, C and F, and Troop
have shown themselves splendid set Of
Young fellows. No one would care to see
finer commands march along the streets
than those of last w, duesday under COM
mand of Colonel Wood and Captain Macal-
lister.
The boys will have some hard work
at camp. But then they are strong, young
and healthy and will be all the better for
the outing.
We hope they will not hide themselves
away Immediately when they return to the
city. We all should like to see public
parade, Chat is if the soldiers do not con-
slider themselves too tirCd), in order that the
citizens may have the good square oppor-
tunity Of admiring them.

Street NuisanceS.

Complaint is made by contemporary of
the members OF a Gei man band which is in
town at present, constantly mportuuiug
people for pennies, knocking at doors, etc.
That nuisance is bearable to certain
degree but the vile music pe:petrat d by
this rowing band is so sperating that the
men should be fined heavily and often for
inrlicting such agony Of discori upon the
community.
Another nuisance compliance of great
deal by residents is King Street is in regard
to the Illegal custom of market people farm
ers, and milkmcn hitching their horses along
the streets. This is great annoyance to
residents. The continued stamping of horse
houfs upon the cobble sire st quct prevents
any sleep. The uuconscionably carly hour
that these folks take up their stand upon
the street makes the nuiss nee almost un-
beatable. Tho Clerk Of the Market should
give his attention to this matter. 1t is his
to duty see that the Market laws are not iu-
lringcd.

Vancouver and Hawaii.

1t does not matter so much perhaps which
nation, United States, Germany. or England
has political supremacy at Honolulu. II
England as it is stated lays cable between
| Vancouver and The Hawaiian Islands and
establishes its promised line of ocean steam
ers between the former place and Asiatic
and Pacific Island ports she will gain all
that is worth looking for, and that is com
melcial supremacy. This clearly limited at
in the following except from an article 10
New York Herald of Tuesday last which al
so points out the fact of the through line adj
vantages of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
"When our treaty with the Sandwich Is
lands was ratified in 1875, England claimed
under the favored nation clause the same
privileges extended to the United States by
this reciprocity triaty. At that time the Bit
sh government did not press is demand,
though it is probable in any event that the
right demanded as a treaty privilege would
have been firmly denied. Her interest were
very remote. and il did not then appear that
there wosld ever be change. But there
has been very decided change and one
which may be Of great importance to the ex-
tension and recognition of British industries
IN most of the islands OF the Pacific Ocean.
The com. loti6n of the Canada Pacific
railway and the established of liuh of large
steamers between the Pacific terminus and
the Asiatic countries, has already called at
tention to the great possibilities of this new
outlet of commerce. The Eclipse expo dtion
recently sent to Japan by the National Acad-
emy of Sciences and the Navy Department
was directed 70 take this route IS means
of economy in time and expense.
But the more practical view of this que
tion, which, it is said at the State Depatr-
mcnt, is growing daily in Importance, is the
great inroad it already makes on the means
of transportation to importing houses in St.
Paul, Mlwauk :, Chicago and East I'm cir.
les, particularly New York. At the urgent
request of the importers of the latter city,
the United States Treasury agent at Van
couvor has been appointed by the Secretary
Of State as consular agent at that point. lie
is authorized to seal cars Ia len with dutiable
goods aud destined for any city having rail
road connections under the bonded system.
1t is thought by State Department officials
that the next step British capital will take
will be the constl uction of cable between
Vancouver aud Honolulu, which may be
eventually extendC across the Pacific. The
recent visit of Queen Kapiolani to England,
it is believed, will be followed on hor return
home bya Pleasures promoting iheeqmmgy-
cial interests OF England and Hawaii. A

The Murder of the Innocents.

Philadelphia Times,
The two principle factorsin the mid-sum.
mer epidemic among infants in tho large
cities IRE bad air and bad milk Extreme
heat is also an essential factor, but indirect
lily. Its depressing effect predisposes the
child to disease, but it does not alone pre-
duce cholera infantum. II does, however,
promote tho various putrefaotive processes,
in sewers, cutters, cellars and back yards,
which poison the summer atmosphere of
towns, and it promotes those changes in
milk which renders it unfit for food.
A great deal of the talk about the adult
Grafton of milk is misleading, because it
suggests the idea that if the milk is not
watered, OF mingled with foreign substances
it may be used with impunity. AS matter
of fact there is probably but little actual
aduteration of milk IN Philadelphia, or at
the dairios whence lthe supply of the city is
derived. The milk may be poor and innu-
tritious, but most of it is genuine milk. The
trouble comes from lack of care and clean
illness at the dairies, and in the neglect of
proper precautions for the safe transporta-
tiou of the milk and its protection from the
heat.
Public attention has lately been called to
the chemical changes which often take place
in hot weather in various articles OF food,
causing the apparently mysterious cases of
poisoning from ice cream, cream pulfs, cheese
sausage and so forth, with which the sum
mer newspapers abound. There eau be no
doubt that these changes, species of poi.
sonous fermentation, take place also in milk
without any external signs, so that milk
which is apparently pure may be given to
infants with the worst results.
The remedy for this !. only in cleanliness
and care, beginning with the pasturage of
the cows, their milking and the preservation
of their milk, and continued throughout its
transportation to town, its delivery to the
consumers and its preparation for use, in
cludiug the scrupuous cleaning of the in
fants bottle. All this time it is absolutely
essential that the milk be kept cool. The
milkman who expose his cans to the sun
may be doing worse for his customers than
though he eked out his milk th water and
chalk, while many mother has unwilling.

BAD DAY FOR A FAIR DAY.

There was tremendous crowd at
the Fair
ON SUNDAY,
drawn thither by the announcement
that the celebrated Mexican band
would give grand sacred concert.
Long before the appointed hour
(2:30 p. N.Y. the large Exposition Hall
was
MASS OF MOVING HUMANITY.
and when the first note of the open
ing piece was sounded all was atten-
tion; quietude gave way to the low
buzz OF human voices, and 10000 ears
were patiently and resignedly listen
ing to the strains of the sweetest of
hymns. There were 10000 listeners,
whose 10000 hands clapped out the
well-merited applause earned by the
musicians OH the completion of
the piece; so it went ON throughout
the entire afternoon, save at the time
of the great
BALLOON ASCENSION.
Miss Bates, accompanied by Mr.. w.
j. O'Neil of Doris & Colvin's circus
made the ascent, which, owing to the
heavy wind and dense atmosphere,
was necessarily short one, sufficient,
however, to afford ample amusement
to the guests of the Fair. ). Il

over the heavens completely obscured
the rays Of the sun, and an OCCASION
al shower, cold and dreary
ones too, made it very uncomfortable.
However, goodly number of visitors
are on hand, although everybody is
in doors.
The regular programme for to-day
is abandoned, as far as the outdoor
attractions are concerned. The live
stock exhibition in the arena, and the
races on the track are abandoned, only
OH account of the unpropitious
weather.
FAIR NOTES.
The races at Memphis have been abandon
ed, and the fine race horses there will all be
brought to Dallas this week. These flyers
were not on the Dallas Fair program, but
the management will spare neither pains or
expense to give a better exhibition than
promised.
There will be no charge to the grand
stand except during the wild west show,
and during the big races which begin ON
Oct. 3lst. This week the grand stand will
be free.
The Knights of Pythias of the city lodges
are arranging for reception to the knights
froni all over the State ON the 9th, and on
the programme of entertainment is uni.
